The Most Overlooked Way to Make Money with AI (+10 More Ideas) - Chat with Michael Girdley | Ep. #181

Everyone's ignoring Facebook. They have 2.1 billion daily active users. Facebook is paying creators like me 20 cents per thousand views. And it's substantial because they don't have enough good content.

You go to folks who are generating content and say, hey, I'm going to publish it for you in a foreign language and must put the revenue 50, 50.

You need a $50 a month account and you're in business.

I call it found money. This is revenue you weren't going to get. It's not going to cost you anything. I'll take care of everything and I'll give you half of whatever I get for you.

Old timey photo booths. You just freaking get bar owner on the phone, buy them from China and you place it. That's it. All right, this is part two of my conversation with Michael Gurdley. Go back exactly one week ago today to hear the first batch of these episodes. We had a business idea showdown. Let's get into it.

I got one for you. Have you ever heard of a show called Metastasis?

No.

Okay, so metastasis, it's on YouTube. What metastasis was is some guys in Latin America, some cable systems in Latin America, they went to Sony Pictures and Sony Pictures owns the entirety of the copyright to Breaking Bad, arguably a top five drama ever.

It's amazing.

And so what they did was they went through the entire series and they did the entire thing as a low budget film, but in Spanish for Latin.

America, the rights holder did this.

So no, the guys, some guys in Colombia, okay, that worked at a cable station went and licensed the script to redo the entire thing in native Latin American Spanish. And they recreated Breaking Bad in Spanish in Colombia, scene by scene. So, like, holy cow.

The whole thing just starting from scratch.

Straight up, there's a Walter White, except his name is, you know, Julio Blanco. Right. Or whatever it is. I don't know Walter is in Spanish. But they went and redid the whole thing as this particular like thing. And it's hugely popular. Like, it was one of the most popular shows in Colombia, which is a huge economy. People don't realize it.

No, I didn't know that.

Yeah. One of the biggest economies in Latin America.

Is it only being shown in Colombia or all over Latin America?

I think it's all over Latin America. But they called it Metastasis because, you know, the whole show.

That's the name of the show.

That's the name of the show.

And you can watch it on YouTube.

Yeah, it's on YouTube. Yeah. There's all Kinds of scenes where like, you know, a version of Tuko is like snorting.

Yeah.

The mess.

Have you seen any of them?

Yeah, yeah, I watched them. Yeah.

Is it like a good production quality? Like good actors?

It's very low quality, but they did it scene by scene. But they did it with like a 50th the budget.

Holy cow. Pizza on the roof and everything.

Yeah, yeah. So the whole thing. But if you look at it, this format has actually this idea of taking something that worked in one place and putting it like we see this pattern over and over again. Like the Office is actually, you know, was originally a UK show. They just redid it in the US with a slightly different twist on it. And these guys actually changed a few little things in metastasis. But I think it's this huge opportunity to go mine content that has worked really well in other places and just bring it to a new culture and adapt the whole thing. So I think there's a future for doing this. Like you go find these stories that are amazing and then you just redo them.

But oh my gosh, of course there is like, that's a no brainer. It's. Isn't that what Disney was built on? Kind of like these old fables and modernizing them?

Yeah, well, Mr. Beast did it for the longest time. I think he still does it. He has actors in his studio that for all of his videos, basically he has them in English and then he has like a native Korean speaker recreating all of them for Mr. Beast. Korea.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah. Jimmy's. Jimmy's pretty smart.

Yeah, he is. Why aren't more people doing that? Like that seems like a no brainer. Like Seinfeld Friends. What are like every classic.

Yeah, it is interesting. Have you gone back to watch like an episode of Cheers or even some of the stuff older, all in the Family and stuff like that.

I've watched with my kids, like season one through three of Seinfeld, which is like early 90s. Yeah, right.

I think as you get older than that though, it's pretty tough for it to translate. A lot of the stuff is it doesn't match with the times and the pace of stuff we're looking for. Like I watched a Cheers episode the other day and I was like, this is so boring.

Who said?

How was this Must see tv? This is like must sleep tv.

That's what I mean about it. Wow. So the idea is to just do that more. Other languages, other countries, other shows.

Yeah, yeah. Go find the most the stuff and redo them in Spanish. Like in Spanish is. If you have to pick languages, right? It's like, it's Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, like, and French. Like, those are your options if you want to get the. And just go do them and do them in Spanish.

Man, that is actually blowing my mind. Like, I knew that Mr. Beast did that, but I didn't know that someone did that with Breaking Bad. That's a no brainer.

Yeah. So I did have my Spanish tutor, by the way, kept really trying to get me to start doing business content as a great gringo in Spanish. He said it would kill. He said it would kill.

Okay, so like just your same type of content but in Spanish with poor Spanish and yeah, it's a gringo.

Exactly that. Well, and so I don't know if you know about this, but in China there's this huge phenomenon where they love Westerners speaking in Chinese. They love it. So there's like all these white people who become stand up, but they're not funny in English, but they're hilarious. And Mandarin, so they're white, like standup comics. And they kill.

They kill in China because it's like, it's confirmation bias, right? They stand up and they're already like, who's this freaking weirdo? Right? And like, they're like, oh, Americans are funny. Like, maybe they think that. And so they go into it expecting to laugh. And so any dumb thing that he says makes them laugh. It's kind of like if you were to, you know, Nate Bargazi, I'm sure he was just as funny when no one knew who he was.

Right?

Right. They weren't expecting him to be funny. He's just this no name, no name guy in a club. But he's probably repeating the same jokes that bombed back then today that everyone just. They just crush because they go into it already loving him and expecting him to be. Oh, he has a Netflix special. It's going to be funny.

It's.

It's confirmation by.

Yeah, he talks about a lot of the sketch skits that he did on Saturday Night Live bombed because. Around Table Read because he didn't know how to. He didn't have an audience to play off of. He has to. He's learned to listen to the audience for his timing. So the reason he's the guy. Nate's the guy that did the George Washington skit. Right?

One of the best of all time.

I use that meme all the time, so I should know who the guy is. But he said that that skit bombed in the Table read at Saturday Night Live. But it killed at the audience because he could. The timing would work with the audience. Whereas around the table read, people were just like, I don't get it.

That skit is so good.

So, okay, so let me tell you something else about China. This is pretty crazy.

Yeah.

So for the longest time, having in a white guy associated with your product in China was seen as luxury. Would make it seem like it was super classy. So there were actually all these businesses that kind of 10, 15 years ago sprung up basically, that were like, white guys of service, and they would hire local foreigners to come to, like, apartment grand openings to help them sell apartments or, like, restaurant. So there'd just be like a random white guy who didn't speak any Chinese. Just hanging out like that made it more sophisticated. And people be like, oh, is classy. It's kind of like we treat an English accent. When you meet an English accent, you're like, oh, that guy's smart. He speaks.

He. So it's like, I could go over there and be Bradley Cooper right now. They love me.

Yeah. Yeah. It's not hard.

Not hard, man. That's another business idea.

I'm available. Anybody? 5,000.

If anyone in China is listening, I'm not too proud. Pay for my plane ticket. I'm there.

All right. I got another one for you.

Okay, well, wait, I gotta. Oh, go for it. I gotta. I gotta riff on that one. Because I'm just very excited about my ideas. Yeah, sorry, sorry. This will be fast. This will be fast. So there is much more demand on Facebook than supply of video content. Okay? All the creators are on Instagram. Everyone's ignoring Facebook. They have 2.1 billion daily active users. 2.1 billion with a B daily active users. That's crazy. Okay? Facebook is paying creators like me to post Facebook reels natively to Facebook because they don't have enough good content. That's why you log into Facebook and it's all slop, because there's just nothing good for them to show people. So I get paid $0.20 per thousand views on my reels. And it's substantial. Like, it has been substantial. My reels go viral there more than anywhere else. But I recently learned, because there's this guy in Canada, this Indian guy, that's copying all of my content. He take. I put out a video. Six hours later, he verbatim repeats my transcript on my reels in his own voice, in Hindi, and then publishes it. It's the. He doesn't change a word, and he's doing very well. He has 400,000 followers on Instagram and he's only copying me. Okay.

In Hindi.

In Hindi. So then I look into it and I said, all right, how many daily active users on Facebook in the US? 220 million or something. What about in India? It's twice that. It's like 400 million. Okay, so twice as big of a market, clearly. Much, much less valuable. Like less GDP per capita. Right. But what I started doing is I created the Kerner Office Hindi on Facebook, Instagram, everywhere. And I get ahead of it. Now I use 11 labs and I publish. As soon as I publish this video about this idea, I publish the same thing in Hindi. I cloned my voice. It sounds like me. It is me. It's my face. So I can get ahead of it. He's still going to copy me, but it will have much less effect. In a few months, I hope to have thousands of Facebook followers and I hope to be monetized on that account as well. So here's the idea. You do that as a service for any creator that's on any platform, specifically on, like, Instagram and Facebook, and you take a rev share. You just use 11 labs. You clone their voice with their own content and you download their videos. You do it in a permissionless way. Then you reach out for permission and you take 20, 30, 40% of the revenue they get from these platforms for publishing it in Hindi. What do we think?

I think that's great. Back in the day, we used to call that internationalization. And the shortcut for it is I18N. Because there's 18 letters between I and.

N. It's like a 16Z.

Yeah, I was already trying to name it for you, which is like internationalization as a service. Yeah. So basically what Jimmy, Mr. Beast is doing with his stuff, but you just go to creators who have stuff and look, I really like this one. I think it's one of our best ideas so far. Because the reason I like it is it. It matches this type of model that works really well, which is. I call it Found money, where it's basically like, hey, like, this is revenue you weren't going to get. It's not going to cost you anything. I'll take care of everything and I'll give you half of whatever I. Yeah. Get for you. Right.

Yeah.

So Molson Heart, you know, Twitter friend, maybe if of mine. He's not everybody's Twitter friend. Yeah, I'm not everybody's Twitter friend either. But he had a business, for example, that would go sue People who had violated patents and then split the revenue for them. So kind of found 20. I like this. This is actually better than my ideas.

No, no, no. But it's made. It's made more capable thanks to 11 labs and, like, AI voice cloning. Whereas Jimmy has had to, like, literally hire actors and dub these videos. But this is more scalable now.

Yeah, well, the reason he did actors is he said he couldn't get the translation stuff to do the right intonation. Just didn't feel good. And the dude's got a lot of money, so. I mean, he just paid.

Yeah.

A guy $250,000 to tweet about his business. So he's got a lot.

Was that real?

I don't know. It felt pretty.

It's really funny. That's who.

Sure. It was really funny. Yeah.

Okay.

This one is an idea that I think is Time has come. You live in Dallas. I live in San Antonio. Mosquitoes are a problem. Do you have mosquitoes in your.

Oh, yeah.

They're horrible. How much money would you pay to get rid of the mosquitoes in your backyard?

Oh, I don't know.

People would pay tens of thousands of dollars. Like here in San Antonio, and in most places in the south, we have these Asian tiger mosquitoes that are these invasive species from Southeast Asia. They fly in any weather. They don't care. They're mean as hell, and they will just come in and injure you. Take your blood, and you're left with a sore that lasts for days. It's not like the mosquitoes you have up north because they just survive everything. As long as there's no deep freeze, they're cool. They are vicious. So back in the day, like 15 years ago, Nathan Myhrvold, who was the CTO of Microsoft, he left Microsoft, took his billion dollars, and went and started a business that would buy up intellectual property and create intellectual property. So one of the patents they created was this device that basically would watch the sky for mosquitoes to start flying. And then it used lasers to shoot them down. It burned their wings off. What? I'm not joking. So there is a TED Talk video of him 15 years ago demonstrating them doing Star Wars Death Star against mosquitoes. And back then, it was hard, like, you couldn't figure out. So. So the problem back then was you have a laser that is strong enough to kill a mosquito from 30ft away. There's a problem that is also strong enough to blind people.

Yeah.

And so you kind of have a problem there. So it wasn't really going to be practical, given the computing at the time, to have something smart enough not to blind people. But we're there now. Like, you look at what's happening with the AI stuff and the ability to process, like, a normal, like, you know, 440 series, like Nvidia GPU can run a model good enough to only shoot down mosquitoes. So somebody needs to build the Mosquito Death Star that, like, sits in my backyard and just blast mosquitoes out of the sky.

That would go viral so easily. Are you kidding me? One Instagram reel and you've sold thousands of units.

Yeah. So there's some challenges here, but I'll leave it there. Which is Mosquito Death Star.

That is so cool. There's a video of this where you can see it at work.

Yes. TED Talk. Yeah, I'll put it in our little thing here.

Oh, my gosh. That is so cool. It's like the fly zapper for the new age, right?

Yeah, but we call it the Mosquito Death Star. Who is not buying the Mosquito Death Star?

Oh, take my money. That is so cool. So you just. Is that what you're launching? Is that the business?

Dude, no. I totally want to build it, though.

Can you buy these? Can you import these?

No, they haven't ever commercialized it.

Okay.

Yeah, that's the. It's the big problem. If you look up Mosquito TED Talk, it just shows you Bill Gates releasing mosquitoes into the audience. Oh, here it is. It's from 2010. Could this mosquito zap malaria? It's Nathan Myhrvold. So I'll put it here.

Oh, man.

Somebody should build this. I will buy one.

Yeah, I would buy one. I'd pay a couple thousand bucks for that.

Oh, my God.

Like, it's a party trick if nothing else. It's like a lava lamp. This.

It's cool. Oh, and it'd be so cool. Like, you could also. You could sell, like, a version where inside your house is, like, a little scoreboard, and it's like, ding. Like, every time it blasts a mosquito out of the sky.

Oh, yeah, Gamify it.

So sick.

Or like, phone notifications. You just zapped a mosquito. You just like Black Mirror. Okay, I'm going to riff on that one, too. All right, ready?

Hit me.

So I saw a similar video a year or two ago of a laser in China that cuts down trees. It's a very, very powerful laser, and they, like, if a branch is, like, hanging into a power line, it can go and it will burn off. Like, there's a thickness maximum to it. Right, right. You're not going to do like a huge tree. Like this technology exists. They're using it in this purpose in Asia today. So I'm going to take what you just said about AI. The big problem with this today is it could kill people. It would kill people, right? It's a weapon. But if you had like a simple optical lens on it or a sensor that could say, all right, you're only going to fire if you're pointed northward at the sky. If I see a tree, if I can identify like, you could even go so far as like, if I can identify what kind of tree it is. Right. Which any iPhone could do. And if the thickness of the tree is only so much and there's no humans in the area, then I will cut off this branch because I own a tree trimming business. Like it's. We just did a job last week, $3,000 job. It took us like three hours. And we just had a bucket truck, 60 foot bucket truck. It's a big pain. It's a lot of friction. So if you could just roll up and go, all right, peace out. It would bring the cost down.

I like that.

You could sell the equipment to tree trimmers. You could start a tree trimming business. You could service the equipment, you could import, license, whatever.

I like that one.

Yeah.

Tree cutting laser.

Yeah, that's good.

Okay. Okay, let me put you on this one. This is crazier than mosquito Death star. So are you familiar with how Texas counties work and how they get revenue?

No.

Okay, so you live in. So Collin county will have five or seven county commissioners, one of whom is the county judge. So the county judge is not really a judge. They're like the mayor of the county. And in the state of Texas, they have the ability to do stuff. Not as much as being a city which live on top of the counties, but they have the power to do some stuff. Like they can collect taxes. They collect property taxes, sales taxes, that sort of stuff. And then they use that to fund services like sheriff and water and building permits and stuff like that. Okay. And so the county commissioners will vote on ordinances and pass that kind of stuff and they will collect salaries as well. Out in west Texas. There is one of 254 counties in the state of Texas and it is actually the least populated county in the entire United states. It has 24 full time residences, residents.

Holy cow.

The name of the town is called Mentone and it is west of the thriving metropolis of Kermit, Texas, which you've also not heard. And it's about 240 miles west of Midland, Odessa. This county has 24 county loving counties.

Okay, I just chat GPT.

Yeah, loving county is the name of county. So 24 residents. The county itself has 24 residents. They mostly live in this little city of Mintone, which until recently didn't have running water. They do have one of the nicest rec centers you'll ever see in a state or in a county. It's random. The whole town of minton is about 12 square blocks.

Okay.

The rest of the county is oil fields. Oil field after oil field after oil field. So valuable property generating a lot of revenue. And because there are no residents and because there are property taxes being collected on these properties in these oil wells, the county last year ran a 40 plus million dollar annual surplus. This year it's going to run a $56 million annual surplus. By projection, they have $200 million in the bank for 24 residents. So they're basically like, they've got all this money, nobody living there and nothing to do with it. So the interesting thing is how much, how many people do you need to have on the county commissioner's court in order to pass ordinances? Say ordinances, like giving a tax refund to all the residents or using some of that fund to hire the residences at very high amounts. Right. Or doing what Alaska does and give everybody monthly checks? Well, it turns out you only need to have three out of the five. And the elections are coming up. So basically in the state of Texas, in order to maintain residency in a particular county, it's a pretty low bar. You just need to be there long enough ahead of time to get yourself registered as a voter and then you could basically like go vote. So with 24 residences residents there, Chris, all you need to do is go find about 20 of your friends willing to put residency out in the town of Mentone and then elect yourself control of the local government.

And then is it really that straightforward? I mean.

Yeah, the elections are pretty small.

There's no way to like prevent that.

No, not. It's an election.

Holy cow. So, like, what would be the name of the position that you would try to like run for?

You'd want to be the county judge and two of the county commissioners.

Okay, you have three out of five and you have majority judge, jury executioner. Yeah.

Well, okay, so that leads into why this is a bad idea. You can imagine. So let me finish. The upside. So the upside is you go and be like, hey, we're passing an ordinance for declaring a dividend. We're going to give $100 million out to all residences as of this date. And everybody walks home with their share of $100 million. Right. And you still have $100 million left over as a county, and you're going to make more money the next year, all for going to spend six months in Minto. So that's the upside. That's the upside of this whole thing and go from there. Here's the downside. If you go Google this town and you go Google the county commissioner, you will see that he is a convicted cattle rustler. In other words, he's been convicted of stealing.

In other words, he will kill you.

So. So it's kind of like the. I call it the Key west effect. You ever notice how Key west is just full bunch of weirdos, like, people who go just. There's people who just keep traveling a certain direction until they can't go any further, and they end up. Yeah, they just stop. They end up in Santa Monica or they end up in Key west or Venice Beach. In Key West, Right. Same thing going on here. There's a reason these people.

Seattle.

Yeah, there's. There's a reason these people live here. Like, they're either running away from something or they want to be some. Someplace where nobody's going to bother them. So, you know, before doing this, I think, number one, you have to worry about personal safety. Number two, like, you just get pilloried in the press. Like, there's no way you're not getting in the New York Times and just totally hated for the rest of your.

Life for doing this.

So it's not really worth either the threat of physical harm or the reputational damage. But it is a fun, intellectual exercise.

This is an incredibly fun intellectual exercise. Like, what are they going to do with the money if nothing ever happens? Do they distribute the interest dividends?

I don't know. I mean, go look at their civic center. They have, like, tennis courts. They have more tennis courts than they have residents. So I don't know what they're doing with all the money.

You need to live there for 24. Or, sorry, six months to be eligible to vote?

No, it's less than that. You just got to go through a voter registration cycle. Establishing residency, Texas county. To establish residence in a Texas county, individuals typically needed to demonstrate they have a permanent residence, a Texas driver's license or state ID and a register. To vote in that county, you just need a permanent address. That's your primary residence there. So you go buy a building, give everybody an apartment. Spend a certain number of days there and make that your primary residence.

Jeez. Okay. If I were going to pull this off, I would get enough friends to ensure a majority, okay? I don't need any locals to vote for me. I'm only going to have my friends vote for me. Okay? I'm going to pay them. I'm going to write them an IOU and say, hey, after the election, I'm going to give you $5 million or whatever it is. A million dollars. And then I'm going to move there quietly. Like, you can't move there quietly. Right. And I'll be. I'll be an official resident, and I won't say a word. I won't say a peep until like a week before the election. Then I bring in my security force, right? Like a professionally trained security force, and then I just go live with the news. Hey, I'm running for judge now.

You.

You got to file by a certain date, I'm sure.

Correct.

But even if you file, like, way in advance, you don't have to say what your platform. You don't have to say a Pete, no yard signs, nothing. Week before the election, by the way, here's what I'm doing. There's no way you don't win that election. But, like, why are you even such a bad guy? Like, I'm going to put this much to charity. I'm going to leave this much in the bank account. I'm going to give this much to all the residents. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, yeah, call me.

I'll participate.

I'm not moving to loving Texas. But this is interesting thought experiment.

Yeah, it's just really fun when you think about it. You can also. It is not that difficult to create your own city in the state of Texas. Have you ever heard about this?

I think I've seen you talk about it, maybe.

Yeah, it's really pretty easy. So used to be there's a city called Mobile City out on the northeast side in Rockwell County. Used to be the only place that there was a liquor store for like, 30 miles because it was a dry county. Dry counties are pretty much not a thing anymore. You can sell alcohol anywhere. But back in the day, counties didn't often have alcohol sales. There's actually a city in Oklahoma called Fireworks City. Guess what they sell there.

Do you have a location there?

No, we're just in Texas.

You're pushed out. Yeah, man.

Let me see. Okay, I got one more, and then I think we're doing it.

Okay, let's do it.

Okay, so I think there is, we're at the early stage of a movement of being very pro natalism. Like people want to see more births and you're seeing a lot of very rich, wealthy people realizing Elon Musk is one of them, that the future of this country needs more people having kids. You and I are speaking in the choir. You have four, I have two. But there are tons of technologies. It's, I think it's going to be a technological solution to fix the natal, the birth rate problem in this country. If you don't, if you're not following it here in the US our birth rate has dipped below replacement, which is 2.1 births per woman. And the birth rate is down 17% in the past 15 years. The average woman is having 17% fewer kids than before. Which like I've watched it as an adult. Like businesses that are dependent upon kids being prevalent and common. Like I'm seeing fewer and fewer young people and everybody looks older. Like there's just more boomers and the society's getting older. So people are seeing what can happen like in a Japan or Korea when you're not having enough kids. Like I think there is a business to be run here to go out and raise a VC fund specifically to invest in pro natalist technologies. So the business model is straightforward. Same as any VC fund. You get carry and you get fees. And you're just saying we're going to invest in things that are going to make money in a pronatalist manner. Like we're going to do things that encourage people to have more kids. So that's things like humanoid robots, potentially like incubation strategies for kids. Like there's lots of people that are already doing it. Like rich people are already paying other people to have their kids. Like there will be a future in which we're able to laboratory wise have kids incubated outside of a woman's body. Now you can argue if whether that's cool or not, like those are tech, the technologies. Between that and making education cheaper and like healthcare or, and childcare, like making that cheaper, all these technologies will make a huge deal. So I think the core business, I think somebody could go raise a hundred million dollar fund to invest in startups in this vein very easily. And at 2 and 20, that's a $2 million a year pastry.

Oh, I love it. What would be the example of like an embryo robot? Something like that.

The reason women aren't having as many kids right now, if you go interview them and like do studies on them. The reason they will say they're not doing it is because generally they want to be focusing on career. They want to be achieving things. Like they don't want having a kid to sideline all that kind of stuff. It stops them from doing the things they want to pursue in life, whether that's work or hobbies and that sort of thing. So basically what you have to do is you have to go and figure out technologies that are going to make it so having a kid is not so costly from opportunity cost monetarily as well. So it's every technology that kind of feeds into that. So how does finding a partner get easier? Right. And cheaper? Right. A lot of women are not reproducing because they can't find a good partner. How does, like, conceiving get cheaper and easier? How does, like, carrying a baby to term. Right. And birthing a baby get cheaper and easier? How does childcare get easier? How does tutoring get easier? How does schooling get easier? How does all that stuff. How does. And then how does college get cheaper? Like, any technology that's going to feed into making that less of an opportunity cost and less costly for women is, I think, and for men is like fair game.

Wow. I love it. Someone's going to do that. Like, there are VC funds around all types of big macro trends like this. I haven't seen one for this, but it's going to happen.

No, I think it's totally. I mean, if you look, there's ones around like the carbon, you know, the green revolution, like all that stuff is totally there.

In general, like, I like the idea of investing in. Investing in what you want the world to become. The hard part is nailing the timing because I do think it's going to turn around. I think the pendulum will swing, especially when we have robots in our homes cooking and cleaning for us. Then there'll be less pressure for moms to do that. I love it.

Yeah. Well, and it's. I mean, a lot of the reason the birth rate is down is you also look at the societal pressures that parenting require has forced parenting to become. If you look at the amount of time dads and moms were spending on parenting activities over the past 50 years, they're more than doubled in terms of the number of hours per week. Like, we've just had this massive inflation of expectations of what we're expecting good parenting to look like. And it's just kind of crazy that this is. People look at that and you. I don't know. Did you see that Chapel Roan interview.

Yes. Yeah.

It's just so depressing.

It was just so crap.

So depressing where she's like, all my friends who have kids are miserable. And I'm like, well, you have to be that way. You're just doing it wrong.

I think she's misinterpreting what she's seeing. You know, like. Yeah, changing diapers, waking up in the middle of the night is not fun. But that's not. That's like 1% of parenting in the grand scheme of things. Oh, man.

On that.

Good. My brain is fried.

All right, well, I do have more for next time.

There will be a next time. Are we gonna vote for a winner here?

Oh, yeah, we should vote for a winner. Well, what's. Let's pick our top three finalists. Look, I want to do your internationalization as a service. Found money one.

I vote for that one for number one or for.

It's in our top top three or four.

Okay. Okay. I am going to vote for the. Your browser plugin. Like, I think that's number one for a reason. I love that idea and I think any vibe coder could build that in a weekend.

Got browser plugin internationalization as a service. I would like to nominate number three as the local government lbo just because it's so crazy. It has counter rustlers in it.

Dude. Yeah. Yeah. So are those the three finalists then?

I also like Mosquito Death Star because I want to buy it. I know we have old timey photo booths, small business minority buyouts, EOS implementer Pro, Natalie.

Old timey photo booths.

Going for old timey photo booths. Okay.

It's like it drives me crazy when you see something like that in a bar that's clearly successful, that doesn't require an operator or an employee. Why isn't that in every bar? Yeah, there's no. Give me a good reason. I don't have one.

All right, so take 10 seconds and we'll each dominate our number one and then we'll decide which one's the winner. All right. All right, I'll go first. Internationalization as a service is my winner. I think it's the best idea.

Okay. All right. Specifically, like using 11 labs to all that.

Yeah. I think that you go create an agency, you go to all these folks who are generating content in one language and say, hey, I'm going to produce all this and republish it for you in a foreign language and I'm going to put the revenue for you with you. 50. 50?

Yeah, you need a $50 a month 11 labs account and the ability to DM people and you're in business and.

Then you go hire a bunch of offshore folks and you just run playbook of it and create parallel accounts for it.

I love it. I'm gonna go with Old Timey photo Booths. Old Timey photo Booths, because that's very approachable to me. With the browser plugin, you're gonna have a hard time finding customers because it's just another plugin. Old Timey photo Booths, you just freaking get. Get a bar owner on the phone and you go buy them from China or wherever and you place it. That's it.

All right, let's do our Tide for first. I would say.

Yeah. Yeah.

Tide for first. Everybody wins in this podcast.

Yeah. But the other, the one that you chose is also very approachable for anyone. Yeah. And that's a big reason why I like it as well.

It's super good.
